For the first time since being appointed special counsel, Robert Mueller spoke publicly about the Russia investigation on Wednesday. In a prepared statement, Mueller said that charging President Donald Trump with a crime was "not an option" because of federal rules, but he used his first public remarks on the Russia investigation to emphasize that he did not exonerate the president. He did emphasize that Russia did conduct an attack on our election system. President Trump said Mueller's statement means the case is closed. See more on what Mueller said here.

As Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's path to victory looked more imminent on Election Night, the Canadian government's immigration and citizenship website began to experience sporadic outages.

Twitter users suggested it was the result of Americans flooding the site to inquire about packing up for a life in the Great White North.
